"These are good. However, I was confused about the "miniature peanut butter cups" called for. Somehow, I assumed they were the mini unwrapped kind (measuring maybe .5+ in diameter), but then I saw the bag I'd bought was an 8 oz bag, so I began to think that maybe the recipe is calling for the larger size (that is maybe 1" in diameter) that come wrapped. I suppose these larger ones could also be called "mini" since they are not the regular-sized large ones (2" in diameter?). I used the smallest ones, and next time would just have mixed the whole bag into the dough. I am guessing I should have used the next size up so as to make the lump in the center more substantial. ANYWAY, these were good and I may make them again, just because they are unique. I do have a very similar tasting recipe that has chocolate chips and peanuts mixed into the dough and is quicker to make. Oh yes, for the chocolate drizzle, to save time I just melted some chocolate chips in a baggie in the microwave, cut off the corner of the bag, and squeezed the chocolate onto the cookies."

"I made these a few years ago and they were a big hit. My joy at Christmas is baking and giving it away so this was a special treat in the cookie mix."

"I loved these cookies they where so yummy and everyone loved them!! i did a couple things differently however by using milk chocolate chips and melted them with a little bit of heavy whipping cream to make the drizzle instead of what the recipe called for, and wrapped them around two of the super tiny reeses instead of the normal mini sized and used the actual reeses branded peanut butter. i didn't even have to freeze or cool my dough they wrapped nicely and looked awesome when baked :D"

"I made these along with a few different types of cookies for Christmas last year and everyone is requesting these ones again! They were such a hit and fairly easy to make! Everyone will be happy when I show up with these again."
